David_66_UK Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I voted keep them, as already said 1 million posts means jack shit, but it gives a clue that someone MAY know what the are talking about at least now and again. Also helps identify the Trolls. As a compromise how about making the display optional for users? (I have always felt a bit self conscious about the number of my posts / time I waste here! - glad I am on my nth reincarantion, albeit I am now back where I started : or banding them, like the status of addict / newbie etc - maybe under 10 posts, 10-500 and over 500 posts.

khunsanuk Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi, "As a compromise how about making the display optional for users?" I am not sure if this is possible. It is likely either off for everyone, or on for everyone. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I went with what ever...but, I do think some guys are/were obsessed with their post count...and thus posted crap...endless mindless crap, raving how they knew so much about LOS, or their failed relationships...do we really need that crap? I say no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texascity Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 >failed relationships< I wonder how many frequent posters have failed relationships due to obsessive posting? & is there a direct correlation between the # of posts & the level of BG cynicism? I am constantly seeking my next failed BG relationship. note: failed white lass relationships are so hateful that I avoid them at all costs. without the prospect / hope of more failed Thai BG relationships I would be more likely to consider the Faulklands for my vacations rookie notice: a failed relationship is not a failed parachute ..

The_Munchmaster Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 A post count at least gives new posters some idea of the experience of the other posters and therefore the potential for their advice to be worth something. I'm not saying that someone with thousands of posts necessarily gives good advice or has good knowledge of Thailand and that someone with one post doesn't, but there is a trend.
